·Friedman-V-Cave-Creek-Unified-School-DistrictThis Week, The Arizona Supreme Court Sided
With The Institute When It Denied The Cave Creek Unified School District’s Appeal
In Our Ongoing Legal Fight, Thereby Affirming Our Lower Court Win And Bringing
This Important Case To A Close With A Victory For Taxpayers That Will Have
Broad Impact Across The Country. The Institute Represented Jayne Friedman,
A Cave Creek Taxpayer, Who Was Troubled When The District Redirected Bond Money
Approved By Voters To Fund Projects Voters Had Not Authorized. After We
Prevailed Last Year In Superior Court, The District Appealed, And In March, The
Court Of Appeals Ruled In A Unanimous Decision That The School District Had
Violated The Terms Of The Bond Deal. Thanks To This Case Outcome, School
Districts Can No Longer Use Bait-And-Switch Tactics In Which Voters Approve
Bonding For Certain Uses And Then The District Diverts The Proceeds To Other
Uses. This Is Important Because Taxpayers Are Ultimately On The Hook To
Pay These Bonds. Today's Victory Greatly Enhances Protections For Taxpayers In Arizona
And In The Thirty-Three Other States With Similar Constitutional Provisions. - Clint
Bolick, Goldwater Institute

Is Trying To Raise $1,200 So He Can Attend The Teenage Republicans (TARS)
Leadership Conference
in Washington, DC this summer. Morgan, who started the TARS Club at his high
school, said, “ I've been concerned about the lack of interest shown by kids my
age so I have decided to do something about it. I've started a Teenage
Republicans club at my school and I am going to start encouraging my classmates
to pay attention. This summer the AZ TARS are attending a leadership conference
in Washington DC to learn leadership skills and also to learn about the
political process. Part of that process is fund-raising for the trip just as we would for a campaign and therefore
I am asking you for your support. I need to raise 1200 dollars total so any
contribution would help. Please help me make a difference.” Morgan is the son
